At a military base a dozen miles from the Gaza border, thousands of reservists flood through a narrow two-lane highway. “I’ve been in all the campaigns in the last 30 years – never, never something like this,” says Arnon Kamil, a 62-year-old Israeli reservist. Heavily armed Hamas militants poured over the heavily fortified border Saturday and killed at least 1,200 people across several Israeli kibbutzim. Six of his friends attended the Supernova music festival that was targeted by Hamas militants. Michael, who declined to share his last name, said his family lives in Re’im kibbutz, where Hamas militants killed four people.
